Heart broken again

I just found out yesterday that I will be going through my third miscarriage. I just don't understand. I thought this one was it. After the last one my doctor did lots of blood work, etc. and the next time I became pregnant I was to take one baby aspirin and 400mg of prometrium at night and lots of folic acid 4mg. I thought this would be the magic formula for a full term pregnancy. But it quickly ended in another devastating blow. This time around I was only 5 weeks and 4 days but still it hurts. You get so excited even though you have been burnt before you just cant help but become joyful and my horrible job becomes more tolerable and everything seems to become brighter. Then the news hit that I am going to miscarry again and it is like a horrible nightmare. My First one was in Feb. 2008 and again I was around five weeks, my second one was in July of 2008 where I was around 11 weeks, we had heard the heartbeat and everything. Went back in because I was spotting and they did an ultrasound and got the shock of our lives that the baby was gone. And now number three it is just so hard and unfair I do not understand, I dont know how to get through another one. I know I should be positive at least I wasnt further along but it still hurts so badly.

It hurts no matter how far along we are. I'm so sorry that you're going through this again. I hope you find the stength you need to get through the days and months ahead. We're here for you to lean on or chat with anytime!

I am extremely sorry for your loss. Your story sounds so similar to mine. I had my first m/c in Oct 2006 at 6 weeks. When I finally got pg again in Nov 08 and we saw the heartbeat I thought this was it. I started spotting and lost the baby at 11 weeks. It hurts and is so devastating when you lose a baby no matter how far along you are. The moment you find out you are pg you begin to have hopes and dreams for your child. On top of these 2 m/c's I have also had 2 chemical pregnancies. These are pregnancies that are lost so early that they can't be seen on an ultrasound. Even with those I felt very sad. Give yourself time to grieve. I don't understand why this keeps happening either, but we can't give up hope!

I wish there was something I could say to make this easier for you hon... All I can say is that I'm very sad that you're facing this again, that I truly understand, &amp; that I'm glad you've found us here.
Take care of you &amp; know you're not alone. Big hugs, oxo

How far along you are doesn't matter! It's a devastating blow when you find out something like this! I've only had the one miscarriage but I know the feelings you describe and it's more than anyone should have to endure. You are in the right place for strength and support. These ladies here are wonderful; they're my second family! Please know that we are here for you and that you are not alone! Hugz and prayers!

I am so sorry for your losses. I am going through number 2 right now with a range of emotions... we hoped and prayed this would be a sticky baby - didn't get our hopes too high, but one can't help but do a little dreaming. Anyway, I can't imagine 3. I would like to try again, but I know it will be even more anxiety ridden then this last time.

A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...

I have my maxed amount of epidural shots of my cervical DDD....(and no one cares about my lumbar DDD)..... I've done physical therapy, muscle relaxers, Amitriptyline, Nortryptiline, desipramine.....narcotics... So I decided to go to a spine specialist and they have me on Gabapentin. Its been two weeks and it did nothing for my lumbar ever... but it did seem to help my cervical and arm/hand pain...
